Burris Needs GOP Votes

This is interesting. Sun Times on the path to the Senate for Roland Burris, which includes a lot of presumably perfunctory actions by the Dems who are now on board to grease his path. But this wrinkle:

4. Approval by the entire Senate, which will take a three-fifths vote, meaning Burris will need some Republicans on his side.

And maybe some Dem rivals of Burris still want a special election? Maybe they'll make a stink about his deals? Will we have some testicular fortitude in the legislature?

UPDATE: Another wrinkle, the pending ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court on the necessity of the signature of Illinois Secretary of State. Legal Insurrection,
